With the Surrogates dropping in on theaters this coming Friday night and the recent Terminator Salvation movie giving us a dose of cyborg human killing machines, I thought you would be interested on when this stuff will become reality.
Sounds like in 20 years we will all be in a different world. Scientist Ray Kurzweil claims that with the advancements in technology and our ever increasing knowledge of genes human's will be immortal:
"Kurzweil calls his theory the Law of Accelerating Returns. "I and many other scientists now believe that in around 20 years we will have the means to reprogram our bodies' stone-age software so we can halt, then reverse, aging," he said. "Then nanotechnology will let us live forever."
He continued: "Ultimately, nanobots will replace blood cells and do their work thousands of times more effectively. Within 25 years we will be able to do an Olympic sprint for 15 minutes without taking a breath, or go scuba-diving for four hours without oxygen. Heart-attack victims – who haven't taken advantage of widely available bionic hearts – will calmly drive to the doctors for a minor operation as their blood bots keep them alive."
"Nanotechnology will extend our mental capacities to such an extent we will be able to write books within minutes. If we want to go into virtual-reality mode, nanobots will shut down brain signals and take us wherever we want to go. Virtual sex will become commonplace. And in our daily lives, hologram like figures will pop in our brain to explain what is happening."
Kurzweil concluded: "So we can look forward to a world where humans become cyborgs, with artificial limbs and organs."
I know this isn't Comic Book news but the possibility of Cyborg's running amok on the streets is soon to be a reality, and that in it self is news worthy. Maybe the Terminator franchise can get some fresh new ideas now about the sequel to Terminator Salvation.
